 Software Manual November 15, 2008
1 out of 14 found this review helpful
Normally, when you buy a software, the package comes with a manual. This so-called book is the manual without the software, you have to buy the software separately at a beginning price of about $140. Without the software, this software manual is useless. Furthermore, this manual does not teach you mathematics, it assumes that you are in full command of the subject. If you are involved in a topic that requires evaluations of mathematical expressions, then this manual together with the software will teach how to perform the necessary nitty-gritty work quickly and effortlessly. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK THINKING THAT IT IS A STAND-ALONE BOOK!
 A must have for the newest version of Mathematica October 30, 2008

I found this book to be easy to understand and simplifies all my calculations thus far. If you have the latest version of Mathematica, this is a must HAVE!
Excellent Tutorial for Beginner/Intermediate March 5, 2003
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
If you learn by example rather than by formalism, get this book. This presents the material in a logical framework with LOTS OF EXAMPLES. A companion volume is "The Mathematica Handbook", also by the same two writers. I used these books extensively in grad school. I remember standing in the university bookstore for 30 min comparing the handful of books available on Mathematica and these two books won out then and now still cover the fundamentals well. I still use them in my work today.pNOTE: The volume I have only covers up to Ver 2.2, but I noticed the latest has 1997 copyright, so might now cover later versions.
